First printed in 1893, Maggie: A Girl of the Avenues is the first printed fiction work of American writer Stephen Crane. A harrowing depiction of a fairly young girl's life in the slums of turn-of-the-century New York City and her eventual decline into prostitution, Crane's novel is a starkly reasonable study of poverty and the obstacles brought about by the speedy industrialization the United States underwent in the past due 1800s. An long lasting antique, Maggie is often thought to be the first exemplory case of naturalism in American fiction, a literary motion that included such authors as Theodore Dreiser and Upton Sinclair. This release also contains three of Crane's short experiences: "The Monster," "The Blue Hotel," and "His New Mittens."
